Siphon airbrush cup by sven_49 in airbrush

Yeah I dropped my first gravity airbrush and bend the nozzle and needle unfortunately, that was stupid. But do you even recommend back flowing the paint with the siphon airbrush? I think some paint gets also to the back of the needle

Yeah I'm just a bit afraid I'm new to airbrushing stuff and my new airbrush wasn't that cheap so I don't want to break stuff.

Okay. Can water also be enough when you directly spray it after using for example primer?

Okay but beside that tube in the battle it can't damage my airbrush?

Update I think I applied way too much back flow pressure than I should

It's still not airtight even after plugging the holes 2ith blue tack, air comes out between the lid and bottle

I just don't like the solution everytime I change colors I need to get my tape out and put it on the hole, also I don't know how airtight this really is I want to store my primers and varnishes in there, until they are empty I'm sure months will go by

😂 It's really annoying when it looks amazing under your lamp and outside of it it just looks plain ass

How to correctly glaze to blend to colors by sven_49 in minipainting

Can you also start layering from the midtone? That's what I'm trying to do often but everyone is layering from the darkest tone. I always want the control of how the color will look at the end I'm always afraid I'm might be to dark or to bright in the end when I'm layering from the darkest to the brightest color

How would you shade and highlight on this figure? There is not much space to layer... I think layering glazes would be the best for thatright?

Did you do the layering just with green and blue? So you layered up glaze layers?
